NORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1914 FIFTH €O. LOS ES TO INDIANS Soldiers Made Desperate Rally in the Ninth—Score 24 to 18 —Campbell Wielded the Stick Frequently—Hiscox’s Pitching Puzzled the Soldiers. The Fifth Company Coast Artillery were defeated Tuesday evening at the Armeory at indoer baseball by Hiscox's Indians by the score of 24 to 18. The game all the way through the nine in- nings was very fast and exciting. Campbell for the Indians handled the war elub in a warrior’s style, right there when the stick work was need- ed. Standish, a former Academy star played a star game at short. Sar- geant’s playing on first saved quite a few wild throws. The soldiers in the first of the game did not. get on to Hiscox’s pitching, but towards the last he weakened. In the ninth the sol- diers started off with a great burstd of speed but were soon checked. Kumft played a great game in left fleld. Nichols pitched a good game but his support was rather weak. The Com- ?any in revenge, have challenged the ndians for another game for next Tuesday night which the Indians ac- cepted. The lineup. dishr:s, Robins 3b Connors 1f, Greg- son rf .

Rome, Feb. 10.—The unfamiliarity of the Itallans with baseball was demon- strated today by the refusal of the au- thorities to permit an exhibition game between the New York team of the National league and the Chicagos of the American league without first be- ing convinced that it is not a “brutal game."” After the points of the game were explained the authorities still insisted that a net be erected within the Stad- jum to protect the spectators. Even when promises were given that this precaution would be taken, permission Was withheld until Wednesday at noon, when a few innings will be play- ed for the benefit of the authorities who desire to judge for themselves what manner of game the American national pastime is. Arrangements have been made for an audience with the pope tomorrow, but on account of the action of the civic authoritiess some of the players will Umpire Burdick’s dectsions were not have to forego this honor. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL DOWNWARD TENDENCY, Effort to Inaugurate Decisive Move- ment, Howeven, Incffective. New York, Feb, 10.—The stock mar- ket held fast today to the approxi- mate level of prices which has pre- vailed for the last fortnight. The pub- lic following attracted by the recent advance appeared to have fallen away and efforts of professional operators to inaugurate ® decisive moverment other was inef- Today's main movement was downward, and on the decline some of the less active shares broke sharply. Fluctuations of the repre- sentative stocks, however, wers not large and in the late session the mar- ket improved, so that at the close thers were few variations of importance from the preceding day’s final quo- tations. The improved tone of the later deal- ings was influenced by the United States Steel corporation’s monthly figures of unfilled tonnage. The in- crease of 331,000 tons In unfilled or- ders was the first gain in more than a year. Taken in conjunction with the strong showing made yesterday in the copper producers report and the decrease in idle freight cars disclosed in the last statement, it confirmed the confidence of Wall Street, as express- ed In recent rise in securities, that positive improvement in géneral bus- iness conditions was at hand. Perhaps the most active influencs in bringing about the early decline in stocks was free selling for foreign ac- count. The Amsterdam market for American securities was upset by the recent collapse of Rock Island stocks and collateral bonds and by the se- vere drop in Mercantile Marine issues following the decision of the British courts vesterday against the White Star line in & damage suit growing out of the sinking of the Titanic. Sales ffor foreign account were 30,000 to 40,000 shares.

Pitchers Will Work In the Cage! { Under Tommers. Yfle{ baseball candidates have started its 1914 campalgn in earnest. Captain Jack Blossom has issued an order for all candidates to report. The cage will be the sceme of the practice untll the conditions are; favorable for outdoor work. The bat- tery candidates will be set to work first and Bernie Tommers, who had charge of this department last year, | has been given direction again. The | experiment of naming him as a coach of the pitchers resulted in developing last year the finest all around twirl- ing squad Yale has had in two de- cades, and an early start of the gea- son has been decided upon in order to allow him to work up an even Jarger squad this year. TRINITY LOSES CREHORE. Best Track Performer in New Eng- land Has Left School. Hartford, Conn. Feb. 10.—Morton S. | Crehores, a member of the Trinity col- lege track team, holder of the mile record there, and among the best known track men in New England, has left college, it was learned today. Faii- ure to meet scholastic requirements is understood to have been the cause. His leaving takes from the track team one | of its most consistent point winners. | PROBALE WHITE HOPE.

Eddie has signed his 1914 contract with the Pittsflelds and says he is golng to lead the catchers in the league this year. WALSH'S CONTROL OF HIS SPITTER. Can Throw the. Spitter Where He Desires—Deceives Base Runners. ‘Wonderful control of a most decep- tive spitter was the best bet of Ed | Walsh, when at the very height of his career. The famous White Sox astar seemed able to put the spitter just where he desired it, and with balls and two strikes on the balter, would almost invariably come back with the spitball whemn the average pitcher woul trust to luck and use the fast one. ‘While perhaps not given so much consideration by the public, ball play- ers wers bothered more by Walsh's deceptive move to first base than by his mystifying spitball. For years the move of Wash in trying to catch men napping at first base, has been a bone | of contention in the American league. Every now and then the umpires re- gard it as a balk, and so cali it. How- ever, if the umpires the judgment of the players, a balk would be called on Walsh every time he threw to first base. There is no deny- ing the deceptiveness of Walsh's move. It is the smoothest, best oiled motion to first that I have ever seen any pitcher possess. It must be out of the ordinary when it fools every- body concerned, base runners n par- ticular. CINCINNATI WANTS FEDS. Ciub Has an Option on Grounds Not Far from National League Grounds. Cincinnati capitalists who have in- terested themselves in the new Fed- eral league are confident they will ob- tain a franchise in that organization. Attorney Paul Connolly, who repre sents the men who have carried on ne- gotiations with President Gilmore, said there is $250,000 behind the project, with more readily accessible. He sald there was a heavy contributor from Chattanooga and one from New York, but most of the money was subscribed in Cincinnati. The club has an option on Hippodrome park, not far from the National league grounds. SPORTING NOTES. Garry Herrmann does not believe it will be necessary to appeal to the courts to protect organized baseball, and isn’t in favor of going to law in any event. Dick Duncan, an outflelded who was sold /to the Philadelphia Nationals by the Dallas club of the Texas league, has signed a three year contract with the Baltimore Feds, Another minor league outfielder, Harry Cassidy, of the Denver Western league club, signed with the Chicago outlaws, his contract offering $3,600 for thres years. He has been ordered to report to Chirago March 1 “for assign- ment.” ‘The American league is anxious to transfer a flock of International league franchises to major league cities now threatened by the Feds; but so far most of the towns to be so invaded are National league centers, and club own- | ers in the senior organization are not wildly enthusiastic.

Here I remained, enjoying life in New York, till about the firat of Februady, 1893, when the boat club changed owners, and_1 returned home for a short rest. I had formed a close friendship while in New York with | Tim Reagan, then athletic instructor of the Xavier A. C.. and we had de- cided to run races in cities along the Hudson river during the coming sea- son. One day during the last days of Yebruary 1 was glancing over the col- umns of the New York World when m; eyve caught the following lin “Trainer of the Xayvier Club Asphyx- lated,” ~With surprise and sorrow 1 read the brief account of poor Tim's death, and afterwards got full detalls.

NOLAN. a letter from the Rev. Frank Van Rensselaer, director of the club, offer- ing me the position of athletic in- structor at the club. I went on to Mew York at once and took chargs uf the club house and gymnasium as the club had lost their grounds a few monihs before and were then loosing for new omes. The club contained at tiat time two world famous atcietes in Tommy Conneff, the great Irish runner, and Mike Sweeney, the great- est ana most consistent Ligh jumper that ever lived, and who frequently cleared over six feet in practice in the club gymnasium on a board floor. The club held a fair and ball shortly after my arrival, clearing about $7,000. This money was to be used for a track and grounds, but they were unable to se- cure any during that year. Many dis- tinguished people paid visits to the club during my stay, chief among whom were the Duke and Duchess of Veragua, lineal descendants of Colum- bus, who were at that time guests of the United Stateg government, and the Princess Kulalia of Spain. I had & pleasant time and many amusing adventures during my stay with the Xaviers, but I dld not care for the life indoors,’and my health beginning to feel the effests of teh long hours in the aipb and the lure of the track infecting me with the old wan- derlust caused me to resign by posi- tion with the Xavier Athletic club in the closing days of August, 1893, and :olltjrn to Nerwich for another brief est, The seasen’s prefessional sports were nearly over at that time, and with the exception of some small events noth- ing oecurred until the dawming of the spring of 1394, | | i | gress at Washington next April were | charity in acepting aid from the pen- same time.

Stearns | presided and the meeting was opened Wwith the singing of America, followed by the Salute to the Flag, led by Mrs. E. B. Davis. Mrs. Allen Cleworth, chairman of the committee for the whist, announced that the net pro- ceeds from this successful arternoon were $65.90, and her report was ac- cepted amid much applause.

The girls of the Mandolin club, Miss« es Olive Linton, Maria Theresa Gal- lup, Irene Wholey, Vera Stetson, Alice | Browning and Helen Storms, gave two | pretty musical selections—Glow-worm | and ‘Sympathy, after which Mrs. C.| Leslle Hopkins, chairman for the day, | conducted the afternoon’s programmse | upon Representative Women of Toda: Mrs. B. P. Bishop chose as her repre- | sentative woman of wealth Mrs. Helen | Gould Shepard and gave a sketch of her life and philanthropies. Mrs. Amos | A. Browning chose Mrs. Ella Flagg | Young, the woman who has achieved, | and showed how character and force | of personality have won her the high | place she holds today. | Mrs. John L. Buel read her speech | given recently at a luncheon in New York to the Soclety of New England | Women. The subject was " he Pass- ing of the Spirit of the Old Time New England Woman. _She deplored ‘the modern rush towards the sensational, the love of ease and pleasure and the breaking loose from the ideals of past generations. Mrs. Minor followed with a few words of greeting from Lucretia Shaw chapter. Another musical selection, a Medley of National Airs, was enjoyed, after which tea and a social hour con- cluded the meetini Pensions For Mothers. Pennsylvania’s law providing pen- sions for mothers has just gone into effect and will be closely watched by other interested States. Applications | for pensions for 600 mothers were re- cently brought before the trustees of Allegheny County, who will endeavor to make it clear to the mothers of the | State that they are mnot objects of | sfon fund. Huntina In Great Britain. How greatly hunting enters into | British social life is shown by the fact | that there are, acording to a recent | computation, 456 recognized packs of | hounds in the United Kingdom. Of these England has 364 packs, Ireland 75 _packs, and Scotland 17 packs. In round numbers the packs which hunt the fox and deer total some nine | thousand couples, while of harriers and beagles there are 3.500 couples. Invented Mail A. Montgomery Order Business.

The pastor of a church in Locust Valley, N. Y., found that the church, the school, and the young people’s organizationse were spending a total of about $1,300 per year for music without getting the best resuits. At his suggestion they pooled their funds and secured for $100 a month the services of a competent music di- rector who spends two days a week in Locust Valley, organizing and direct- ing the music for the church and school, training a children’s choir, giving monthly musical _entertain- ments, and developing a choral soci- ety. Pupils in the Dickerson High School, Jersey City, went to school from 4:30 in the afternoon to 10 o'clock at night on one occasion lately, in order that the adult members of their famgilies might see the school plant in opera- tion. Over 15,000 citizens took advan- tage of the opportunity offered by Superintendent Snyder to see what the high school was actually doing.
